Rough On the Deadheads.
New York, April 10th.-[Special.l THE
Times says: 1.-The abolition of free passes,
at least so far as interstate transportation is
concerned, ought to sensibly increase the
revenue of the railroad companies. Presi-
dent Adams, of the Union Pacific, told the
NOuETGSSlOIldl lLdl lllC pass
transportation on his road would yield
500, 600 at regular rates, and it has been
estimated that the Pennsylvania road
would gain $20000 year by Withholding
passes. A Director of the st. Paul road
says his company will gain 100000, and
an officer of the Burlington Company
asserts that 10 per cent. of the
passenger transportation on his road
has been free, and he believed that
40 per cent. of this free transportation
will be retained at the regular rates. 1t is
said there are roads on which, at certain
seasons of the year, one-half the passen-
gers are deadheads."
